That's good. At least you are thinking. It's a good place to start. You won't ever grasp the complexity of every thing, however you can grasp the big picture, the ultimate nature of reality. "Tiny monkey brain" is a construction. You are neither a monkey nor a brain nor tiny. Those are assumptions and illusions which you can break through. Lots of assumptions here. You assume bats and others exist. You assume you are a human. You assume that bias cannot be overcome. Imagine an even higher level of transcendence beyond human experience and perception. I did it for you in the video. Relativity is a deep aspect of reality, so you don't need to deconstruct it, you just need to contemplate and properly understand it, rather than abusing it. All the finite things have one singular source. By becoming conscious of that source you will understand the essence of all finite things. You can understand what a cat is without needing to see every cat in the world. Studying a handful of cats is sufficient to understand catness. So it's not as hard as you make it seem. Just realize that reality has some ultimate over-arching structure which is not relative, even though within that structure you can have endless points of view. Reality is a dream imagined by an infinite mind. This is not relative. But the content inside those dreams is relative. Don't get stuck in the content within the dream. You are missing consciousness of that ultimate structure which is not dream-specific.

No

Let's fork you in the foot and find out.

Time to start sunbathing our buttholes like the trees we are

Feelings are more primitive. Emotions are feelings + conceptual content like thoughts and images. If I stab you in the foot with a fork, that's a feeling. If you hate me for it, that's an emotion.

Yes, color can range that much. Both those look good. They should smell similar.

You have to feel before you can evolve eyes, like you need to crawl before you can walk.

I didn't say they have emotions. But emotions are just a more advanced form of feeling.

@Clarence 20mg is very low for DPT. You'll need quite a lot more for a serious trip. Welcome.

Note that in the evolution of living things, feeling was the first sense to evolve. Feeling is more primordial than vision, smell, hearing, taste. Cellular organisms can feel before than can see. In fact, all the other sense organs evolved out of feeling receptors. Your eyes literally "feel" photons. Your tongue "feels" food molecules. That shows you how fundamental feeling is to survival. And why emotions override rationality and logic. If you felt bad enough you would not be able to do anything: walk, talk, smile, eat, make money, socialize, and even think. At some point you will feel so bad that your only option will be death.

I like both. There's value in both.

Visuals are a beautiful and good thing to experience. You should still get them at high doses.

More like: less dense ego equates to those things. Less ego, less gooding and badding. Observe what role gooding and badding play in upholding the ego. The ego is like a bird that flys on two wings: good and bad.

It's like I need to write a quote, and then write an explanation of it. Like some kind of BIble/Shakespeare commentary. But this feels over-the-top. Sometimes I don't feel like over-explaining it. But it's also important that it not be misunderstood. There is a trade-off between pithiness and clarity. Quotes sacrifice clarity for pithiness.

Because it had a unique premise and it had a genuine reason for being. All the other ones had little reason for being other than to make the studio money. There is a clear difference between things which are made for the purpose of creativity vs for the purpose of making money. If a thing is being made for the purpose of money it is already corrupt from the moment of its inception. Although I liked the 3rd one. It is best one since the first. This new one gives me 3rd one vibes, which is why it might be worth watching. Although ScarJo seems miscast for that role.

This makes so sense. The ego is constantly judging everything as bad. You judged 10 things as bad today. And you have done so every day of your life. And you will do it again tomorrow. Just observe yourself. Ego IS a matrix of goods and bads.

@numbersinarow There is no mystery in the quote: bad and wrong are constructs for your ego. I am not playing psuedo-profound Zen games with you guys. I say things directly and clearly.

@UnbornTao That looks surprisingly good. Like old school, smaller scale Jurassic Park rather than Michael Bay shlock. Jurassic Park is good when it's smaller, not bigger.

Yeah, worked that way for me too.

Because you are God but you have no idea yet what that means. You haven't found God. You just have stories. It's the difference between reading about billionaires and being a billionaire. Because truth is the only thing that matters. It just so happens that truth is God. But if truth were Satan, then Satan would be the only thing worth knowing.

Because in the end God is the highest pursuit and purpose. Nothing else really matters. You can't compare God with shooting golf balls or making money. The promise of God is very enticing beyond material rewards. When all these religions were founded humans were much less materialistic, capitalistic, pop-cultural. There was little to do other than God, family, and farming.
